Here is a quote from John (paratus) from a post @JoelKeys made.

Back then we had no tracker and so we are not back where we started. The Module will be out when it is ready, you can go and look at the tracker here: https://www.identityrpg.com/info/modules/townsquare/

There is no ETA and the devs won't give one. It is done when it is done. The tracker is something to keep an eye on as that is what will be showing when it is close to being done.

That was an example, also houses are supposed to be unique. Real Estate is already something planned and also no building houses. Building houses is a possibility in the very very far future. The world will be filled with more than 50 houses. There will be 300 - 500 players and depending on how many is chosen after Beta the devs will likely pick a number of houses for the map. But there won't likely be as many houses as players because that won't make them unique.

VOIP will be the main communication with in the game but there will be a text chat but the text chat will not be overly done like other MMORPG's

This will never happen as the Houses are partially instanced and not fully instanced. This means e.g. that House 1 is owned by me, there for no one can buy house 1 because there can only be 1 own of the same house. The house is only yours on 1 server too and so every house is unique to a player. There for the GTA way for houses is not possible. Apartments however are fully instanced and there are unlimited. Houses are limited. Houses, if 50 houses, then only 50 players can buy a house. Apartments however are unlimited.

The Town Square is not going to feature the business's or government. It is a small social module(Alpha). There will be 2 More modules, the (2nd)s.w.a.t. and (3rd)racing modules. The Beta will come after the 3 modules which will be the closest thing to the full game. Games can be on the steam store but hidden from public view.

The community don't want any release dates and so that also includes a release time. It will drop when it is ready. There is a possibility for a prior announcement but IDK. Anything can happen, however the module has been delayed and no dates will be given due to the request of the community and delays occurring.

Here are most of the answers which are Official and people get the answers that they pass on mainly from the these and also the devs themselves. However everything is always subject to change.

There will be no pre-loading of the module. You will receive the steam key via email on either the day before or on the day of release if you have Founder ($30) package or above.

There is no specific release hour/ time, and I don't think it would be good for it. I think it should just drop in when it is finished and they are ready to release as this means that the community, those that complain about dates being delayed won't start on the time being pushed either as it won't be told. Also a lot of the community keep on saying don't give release dates anymore because of past delays and IMO this is the best way forward to for the devs.

There was never a typo. The "Luxury" 1 bedroom apartment is just means it will be in a better/ maybe a nicer area and has more space than the 1 bedroom apartment. The 2 bedroom apartment is non luxury but on kickstarter for the $1k pledge there was the Luxury 2 bedroom apartment: https://gyazo.com/cd2388693034ae0a2958f39387019c5e That apartment is no longer available.

Indeed, it is meant to be. I have been waiting since that day and I will happily wait it again if my dream game was back on kickstarter again. #worththewaitIMO

Days since "05/01/2015 till 19/04/2018" = 1197 (Today) (DD/MM/YYYY) Days since "05/01/2015 till 23/04/2018 (release day)" = 1200 Days.

no need for the apology, everyone makes mistakes. I just wanted to correct it for you. We can't remember every little detail.

Apartments, no houses in Town Square.

4 hours. 1 hour night, 3 hours day time.

Not on Day 1 but the shooting range in the police station will eventually open up through an update to allow players to test the guns. So no at first but eventually yes. @ANOKATA Cars is a no to driving but seeing them in the garage will be something eventually too.

yes

No, In the town square you will eventually be able to see your pledge vehicle in the garage but it will not be drivable at all. Driving will come with Module 3 Only.

I believe you have to bandage up your wounds or you can bleed out and die. However you may self heal over a very long period but likely you won't and will have to go hospital to heal.

Car indicators will be in the game yes.

Also there are no jobs/ careers in the modules, they won't be around until the Beta which is after the 3 modules.

Hey there @SteadyFusion, welcome to the Identity community! I hope you enjoy your stay here! I must say congratulations on soon to be a father! I got to say 17 is a very young age to be one. You will be consumed with little time as your baby will need you. However I do agree if you want to get the game for passing time then I would get the Founder ($30) package at the minimum as it is best for your money. The Modules are Alpha, Beta will come after the 3 Modules and then the full game release but by then I am sure you will have more free time on your hands. Just remember if you decide to wait, then you might not get to persuade yourself to buying it because your time will be spent with your child. It is solely your choice and if you want to get the game cheaper/ discounted + have access early on as this Monday on the way then I suggest get the Founder package. Well I hope you have a nice day/ evening/ night and make the best decision for you! Kind regards, LuckyDuck.
